On 28 June 2022, the EU Agency for the Space Programme () held an online workshop about the ongoing testing of the Galileo Open Service - Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA). The event was an opportunity to both learn about the status of the testing phase and discuss preliminary results. As to the latter, highlights included:
The initial results show that, although the Galileo OSNMA Public Observation Test Phase continues, it has already successfully provided important feedback that EUSPA can use to enhance the service's functionality.
Testing remains ongoing - and you can still participate
The Galileo OSNMA is a data authentication function that will be freely accessible worldwide. The pioneering service will pave the way towards robust PVT for users of the Galileo Open Service.
In preparation for its service declaration, GNSS receiver manufacturers, integrators and application developers are encouraged to continue testing the Galileo OSNMA. This testing is done via a Signal in Space (SiS) and is meant to assess the service's performance across a range of scenarios and use cases.
Relevant interested parties can still register for the Public Observation Test Phase by accessing the OSNMA Public Observation webpage.
The final workshop is foreseen to take place at the end of 2022.
